Honkai Star Rail 3.2 to Introduce Changes to Banner System for More Player Freedom

Honkai: Star Rail's gacha system is getting a major overhaul, giving players more control over their character pulls. Leaks suggest version 3.2 will introduce a customizable pity system for limited banners, a significant change to how players interact with the game's gacha mechanics.

According to leaks from Sakura Haven, the 3.2 update will let you personalize your 50/50 pity pool. Instead of the standard seven characters, you'll choose your preferred characters from a larger selection. These chosen characters can partially or fully replace the default pool, giving you greater influence over your rewards.

Currently, the 50/50 pity pool includes seven standard characters. Version 3.2 replaces this with a "Group" of characters you select. You'll choose seven characters from this "Group" to form your personalized 50/50 pool. Losing a 50/50 roll will then reward you with a character from *your* customized pool, not the default lineup.

This "Group" will initially include the standard seven plus a selection of additional characters. This update directly addresses a common gacha complaint: the frustration of unwanted 50/50 results. By prioritizing desired characters, players gain a better chance of obtaining units that fit their playstyle.

While details on the selectable pool remain unclear—it's unknown if past limited characters, current banner units, or new additions will be included—the change reflects miHoYo's commitment to improving Honkai: Star Rail. This customizable pity system prioritizes player choice, potentially setting a new standard for gacha game design.

The announcement has already generated considerable excitement. Players eagerly anticipate the impact of these changes on their gameplay experience when Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 arrives.
